## Description

HOLLYWOOD TAKES ON THE CARETAKER ! To be adapted by Universal Studios . . . Horror maestro David Bruckner set to direct . . . And Sydney Sweeney attached to star and produce . . . Follow the Rites... Nothing less than the survival of humanity is at stake. From Marcus Kliewer - a new ‘titan of the macabre and unsettling’ (Erin A. Craig, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author) - comes a supernatural horror about a young woman who accepts a caretaking job from Craigslist, only to discover the position has consequences far greater - and more dangerous - than she ever could have imagined. EXCITING OPPORTUNITY: Caretaker urgently needed. Three days of work. Competitive pay. Serious applicants ONLY. Macy Mullins can’t say why the job posting grabbed her attention - it had the pull of a fisherman’s lure, barbed hook and all - vaguely ominous. But after an endless string of failed job interviews, she's not exactly in the position to be picky. She has rent to pay, groceries to buy, and a younger sister to provide for. Besides, it’s only three days’ work . . . Three days, cooped up in a stranger’s house, surrounded by Oregon Coast wilderness. What starts as a peculiar side gig soon becomes a waking nightmare. An incomprehensible evil may dwell on this property—and Macy Mullins might just be the only thing standing between it, and the rest of humanity. Follow the Rites . . . Follow the Rites . . . Follow the Rites . . . ..--- / ..... / ---..
